Home modifications and maintenance

Make your home secure, safer and ready to meet your changing needs.

Make living at home easier

 

If you want to stay living at home for as long as you can, we can help you modify your home to support your independence and safety - and keep it that way. We’ll work with you, your occupational therapist or medical adviser to make sure everything we do is tailored to your specific needs to improve your safety and wellness.

Modify your home to suit your changing needs

Small changes can make a big difference to how you live. Our home modification services are designed to help you modify your home to your needs - so you can stay independent for longer in your own home. Examples of home modifications may include:

  • installing grab rails, hand rails and handheld showers
  • modifying access to include ramps, step ramps, platform steps and paths
  • stair lift installations
  • complex bathroom modifications including minor plumbing, electrical and carpentry work, if it meets eligibility criteria.

 

Our home modification services are available in the Inner West, Western Sydney and the Nepean region for the Commonwealth Health Support Programme (CHSP) or across the Sydney Metro for Home Care Packages (HCP), National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) funded and fee-for-service works.
